Home Economics in the Philippines has a rich history that began in the early 1900s during the American colonial period. It was introduced by the Thomasites, a group of American teachers who made significant contributions to the Philippine education system. Home Economics was integrated into the school curriculum with the primary goal of equipping students, especially girls, with essential skills for managing households. The focus was on practical skills such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, and budgeting, all designed to help families achieve stability and self-reliance.
As time passed, Home Economics expanded to cover a broader range of topics, including nutrition, family planning, consumer education, and financial literacy. These additions were aimed at building a strong household economy, which was considered essential for keeping families united and resilient.
However, as society evolved, many Filipinos began exploring job opportunities both locally and abroad, leading to the growth of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) community. This shift, coupled with an increased reliance on government assistance, gradually weakened the economic role of the home.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the need for a new approach to Home Economics, especially as remote work became more common. In response, Filipino Americans, with the support of California Technological Care (CTC), reintroduced the concept in the Philippines with a modern twist known as AI Share Home Economics. This updated version uses technology to strengthen household economies and has been made possible through CTC’s efforts. The main goal of AI Share Home Economics is to create digital livelihood opportunities in every Filipino home, building a share economy that transforms households into reliable sources of income, ultimately supporting both family stability and national economic growth.
The Emergence of Home Economics
The AI Share Home Economics model marks a significant change in how Filipinos can achieve financial stability and independence in today's digital world. By using advanced AI technologies, this initiative helps families create sustainable livelihoods from their own homes, fitting well with the growing trend of remote work. As more people around the globe choose to work from home, AI Share Home Economics takes advantage of this shift by providing digital tools and platforms that empower families to earn income without leaving their homes. This not only strengthens the financial security of individual families but also benefits the wider community by encouraging financial independence and long-term stability.
For Global Filipinos, especially Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), this model brings about a meaningful change. Traditionally, OFWs have had to endure long periods away from their families, working abroad to support their loved ones. The AI Share Home Economics offers a new option, allowing these workers to earn a living without leaving the Philippines. This approach addresses the emotional and social toll of family separation, offering the chance to maintain close family ties while still contributing to the household economy. For many, the dream of working together as a family at home, without the pain of separation, can now become a reality through this model. Beyond personal satisfaction, this initiative also supports the national economy, providing a strong response to the challenges of the modern technological era.
At its heart, AI Share Home Economics is built to create a share economy among Filipinos, a concept that aligns with the deeply ingrained Filipino spirit of "bayanihan," or community cooperation. This value is a key part of Filipino culture, where helping others in times of need comes naturally. With the rapid advancement of technology, the idea of bayanihan can be more effectively realized, as AI platforms serve as the connections that bring people together. No matter where Filipinos are in the world, they can connect, collaborate, and support each other through these advanced digital tools. The share economy that grows from this cooperation reflects the strength and unity of Filipinos, much like a bundled broom—unbreakable and powerful when united.
By embracing AI Share Home Economics, Filipinos have the chance to build a fairer and more prosperous future. This model not only improves the well-being of individuals and families but also contributes to the nation's economic growth. As we come together through AI-driven platforms, we can create a share economy that embodies the spirit of bayanihan and transforms the lives of Filipinos.
